I like the Galleon interface and screens, but it doesn't tie in with my backend system for smartlists (i.e. Beatles 1966 and later or album title = "hotel costes*").

Plus Galleon has some other weird quirks. If you have "the Replacements" and "The Replacements", in Galleon they will show up as 2 different listings. Media Center does a better job of managing the meta data.

I could use some help with MC 19 and my TiVo Premiers. I have Desktop Plus 2.8.3 running okay but I see nothing from MC showing up on TiVo. I don't actually know what it will look like or where to find it in TiVo. There seems to be very little documentation on troubleshooting a deployment. -phil

Go to the My TiVo Recordings folder and create a shortcut that points to the folder containing your MC recordings.

MC is supposed to operate separately from TiVo Desktop, sort of like it's own Desktop program, so pointing to the MC library in My TiVo Recordings won't achieve the correct response that I'm looking for.

What I did find out is by setting the MC TiVo Server options to port 80 the MC music and photos will show up in TiVo Music, Photos and Showcases, as depicted in the attached image. Selecting the Music Center Music entry runs the TiVo music player and will play music contained in the MC Library.

This is the behavior I was looking for but I still have issues with differences between the TiVo SD and HD Menus. I'm unable to see MC when HD Menus are selected in TiVo so there's more happening than meets the eye.

There's also issues with how MC and Desktop 2.8.3 behave together. Depending on how Desktop is configured with Beacon or Bonjour you get different results. And, my one TiVo that's behind a Cisco Wireless Entertainment Bridge, WET610 isn't working with Desktop in Beacon mode but is with Bonjour but no MC at all even in SD Menus.
